They know what we want. We are bombarded by ads that are personalised. They all offer a better life, better stuff, better experiences. And the advertising world is right. We do want life to be better. We are tired of what we have been offered so far.
Jesus points the way to this blessed life. It’s remarkably simple to understand.
And extremely hard to do.

Pentecost – the reminder that the Church’s adventures began when the Spirit filled ordinary people and they found bravery and courage they couldn’t have imagined.
For many people around the world, calling yourself a Christian is still a risky thing. But the same Holy Spirit causes them (and us) to stand firm, even when things don’t go well.
We were joined by special guest Rev Lee Proudlove from Open Doors – a group that connects us with Christians under the pressure of persecution.
Jesus was such an attractive teacher. He drew all sorts of people to himself: the clever ones, the sophisticated ones and the desperate ones.

Jesus promised that we would be able to hear his voice – and that he would be the leader we have been looking for all this time.
Jesus makes us choose and gives us questions to ask ourselves. Are we willing to make a choice? Are we willing to make a stand?
The first Easter Sunday began with frightened women and perplexed men peering into an empty grave looking for their friend who had been killed a few days earlier.
They were looking in the wrong place.
They would find him and their worlds would be turned upside down.
It’s just that he was never going to be found in a graveyard. He had risen.
Life would never be the same again.
Sometimes our pain is caused by the reactions of others.
We can be overcome by their disapproval and condemnation of us and the way we live.
We can be overcome by their disapproval and condemnation of us and the way we live.

Everyone wants to be ‘spiritual’ but no one wants to be ‘religious’.
What do we mean by ‘spirituality’ and what does it mean to be filled with the Spirit of God in everyday life?
